....a few photos of a very slippery morning session when the track was like an ice rink......
....felt for this poor chap after he hit the tyre wall
.....
....some great looking cars....
....had a good chat with this chap who came to pick up a customers car for work.....
....Alec is an ex-pro rally driver who now prepares race and other cars for private clients. A really nice guy....loved his story of when driving for Fiat he was asked to race a Lancia Delta S4 in the last RAC Group B supercar rally back in 86 as a recce car that fed tyre information back the main drivers; unfortunately the recce cars were banned at the last moment and he didn't get to race but he did get a weeks testing in the S4
.........he also owned and raced a genuine 2.7RS lightweight back in the late 70's as well as racing other Porsches. He happened to have a few photos in his van, anyone know the cars?....
....a heavy downpour just after lunch had many calling it a day which left the track pretty empty in the afternoon and although still a wet circuit with standing water compromising the lines the drying conditions gave an opportunity to have a bit more fun
....a lap of Castle Combe video link....https://youtu.be/w8DutlvCevA
...a great day out and a bunch of friendly welcoming unpretentious people who didn't once mention car values!
.....they even gave me a nice photo....
....so much fun I was practically the last man standing!
DDK needs an event like this
Cheers,
